The Sox are above the .600 winning percentage line, have the lowest avg of Runs allowed per game and third highest runs scored per game. But once again the Sox are suffering from "bad luck" as they are under preforming the expected record form runs scored vs runs allowed. This has happen to the Sox the past three years, while the Twins have out preformed theirs.

The only stat that matters is wins.

So my answer is no.

They're winning at a .554 clip not over .600

It's the Yankees as of right now.

But the Yankees have too many stars that won't mesh and a questionable pitching staff. Riiiiiiight.

Did you look at the graph? It say the Sox should be over .600 based on runs scored vs runs allowed.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting stuff. I think one thing we can see this year is that the pitching (except for the last two nights and a few others) has been consistent, while the offense is bipolar. There's a lot of 10-1, 12-2 wins and a lot of 3-2, 4-2 losses. Although, the Sox are still 13-6 in one run games. It seems they have all the bases covered, so to speak, and still are underperforming. How do the Twins do this every year?

That is an interesting question to look at, not sure if some one has yet. Might be park factor since the Twins usually have one of the better home records.
